Chapter 171: Asking for Fields (1st Shift)
There is a strict process for rebuilding the ancestral hall, which is presided over by the patriarch and the elders of the village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I also invited an old man from the clan to come over to watch the ceremony, and I heard that he was also a powerful person who was born in Gongsheng and had been to Beijing to sit in prison.
Lin Yanchao thought to himself, it's not a joke for us to hang the show plaque with such fanfare, there are more than 20 Jinshi from the Zong family. We got caught up in a show and got scared over there, aren't we waiting to be slapped in the face?
However, Lin Yanchao didn't think much about it, but followed the elders from beginning to end and followed the process step by step.
A brocade plaque was unveiled, and a Xiucai plaque engraved with his and his father's names was hung on the lintel of the ancestral hall. Firecrackers rang out outside the ancestral hall, and the whole clan was jubilant.
The villagers all congratulated Lin Gaozhu, uncle, third uncle and themselves.
Lin Yanchao also saw tears of excitement flashing on the faces of his grandfather and uncle, and he understood that he had fallen for Xiucai, but in fact, it had not been just his own business.
At this moment, the old prisoner of the Zong family also came to congratulate Lin Yanchao personally.
Originally, I thought that they would not think too highly of their talents, but they didn't expect that the old supervisor of this sect said: "Yanchao, you entered school at the age of fourteen, and you are still the second in the college examination, and it has been a long time since Hou Guan has been so good as a junior." Lao Zongweng is also very appreciative when he hears it, and he will give you a lion-head paperweight, and hope that you will try to win the victory in your hometown, and glorify our ancestors for our Lin family. ”
The villagers were all excited when they heard it, and even the people of the clan were proud of Lin Yanchao's talent. As for Lao Zongweng, Lin Chunze, who has gone through the Six Dynasties, he also sent Lin Yanchao a lion's head paperweight to congratulate.
Lin Yanchao was also an accident, it seems that the people of the Zong family are also proud of their talent, and they think they are disdainful, it seems that they have the heart of a villain. But thinking of the previous disdain of the Zong family's disdain for his father's talent in the middle, Lin Yanchao still had a thorn in his heart.
Lin Yanchao replied unfairly: "Thank you." ”
The uncle was afraid that Lin Yanchao would be rude and hurriedly said, "Thank you, old Zongweng." What's so embarrassing about that? Another day, I will ask Yanchao to go to the house to congratulate in person. ”
The old prisoner smiled and said: "This son's bearing is extraordinary, and the future is not for me." As for whether or not to go to the house to pay a visit, it is secondary. ”
Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this old prisoner is really generous.
The ceremony of hanging the plaque is over.
At present, the patriarch, Lin Gao, and Uncle several village leaders and faces gathered together to discuss the matter of rebuilding the family tree with the old eunuchs of the clan.
Rebuilding the genealogy is also a big deal. For a family. The clan inheritance must not be broken.
There are only four surnames in the world: Kong, Meng, Zeng, and Yan, and the cultivation is a Tongtian genealogy, and it is also a family tree shared by people with the same surname. The other surnames have their own branches, although the people with the surname Lin are mostly based on Bigan as the ancestor. But after all, it has been passed down for so many years, but it is not recognized among clans. For example, although the Shuixi Lin clan and the Lianjiang Lin clan are both surnamed Lin, they do not cultivate each other's genealogy together.
The old prisoner recorded the Lin family in Hongshan Village, and if there were descendants who inherited it, they would draw a line under the name.
When revising the score. When Lin Yanchao saw his own, he found that there was actually an extra vertical line under his name, and a person's name was added below.
Lin Yanchao said in his heart, what does this mean, he actually became a father unconsciously?
Lin Gao coughed and said, "This matter is also just decided, and I have no time to talk to you for a while." That's right, grandson of your second uncle. He turned ten years old this year, and he was born smart and smart. I'm going to study in social studies, but your second uncle's family has never been registered, so it's passed under your name. Aren't you a showman exempt from servitude? So ......"
Lin Yanchao suddenly turned out to be running for his exemption quota.
Lin Gao, as a miscellaneous official, was originally exempted from military service. Moreover, Master Shen has already intended to take care of him, so that the uncle is ready to become an economic official during the tenure of the Zhou County Order, so that the Lin family will have an extra exemption quota for Lin Yanshou. And Lin Yanchao is exempt from the quota of two dings. One third uncle was exempted, and another one could be exempted, so he was immediately remembered, so he stuffed one for Lin Yanchao.
Those who do not have a place of origin cannot participate in the imperial examination, let alone become an official. is an official, but with a place of origin, he can't escape the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on weekdays, so many people choose to be black households.
There are children in the black household who are interested in the imperial examination, so they came up with such a workaround.
Lin Yanchao frowned when he heard this and said, "There's something wrong with this!" ”
Lin Gaozhu immediately said: "It's all the villagers who should be helped, and they must be helped." ”
"But ......"
"You can rest assured, although it is a succession, but not an heir, that is, nominally, you can rest assured."
Lin Yanchao sighed and said, "But what I'm saying is that I'm only fourteen years old, but my heir is ten years old, does this government believe it?" ”
On this side, Lin Yanchao has just been promoted to the next level, and on the other side, Lin Gao has finalized the matter of buying land. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh that his father and uncle went home, but they really didn't stay in vain.
The family arrived at the junction of Hongshan Village and Xiejia Village, which was originally the boundary between two villages, and the two families often fell out over water and digging ditches. In the past, Xie Village had the support of the eldest mother and father Xie Zongjia, and he had always had the upper hand, but now that Lin Gaozhu of Lin Village has become an official, the people of Xie Village dare not move.
At this time, it is September, the rice in the field has not been harvested, and it looks golden under the autumn sun, and the waterwheel by the canal turns the water.
This year is still a good year, there is no shortage of rain, although Fujian is barren and remote, but it is a good place, in history there is no hunger in the army, no plundering in the famine, and no pollution in the face of disasters.
There are big trees on a large section of the ridge road, and Lin Yanchao and his family stayed along the road to a big tree.
Lin Gao pointed to the front of the mountain and said, "This is the fifteen acres of land I just bought, what do you think?" ”
Lin Yanchao saw that it was a terraced field that happened to be on the side of the mountain.
Hearing Lin Gaozhu say this, the family ran over at a faster pace and ran to the foot of the mountain. But I saw that the newly cultivated terraces were already there.
The third uncle is an old expert in farming, and everyone said: "This is a good field that the second uncle helped us Zhang Luo, and the people in the village have just reclaimed it together, which is a few points cheaper than the ordinary paddy field, but it is leaning on the side of the mountain, and you can water it with mountain spring water at any time." Grow vegetables and rice here, and the harvest will not be bad in a year. ”
Hearing the third uncle say this, everyone was beaming.
The uncle also squatted on the ground, sticking a little soil to his fingertips and said with a smile: "You see that it is not red soil, and you can plant crops immediately." The most important thing is that grain can be exempted, otherwise 15 acres of land, spread out of regular service and miscellaneous taxes, it will take decades to return to the capital, and if there is any disaster year, it will have to be put into it. ”
Lin Yanchao was exempted from two dings after winning the show, and he could also be exempted from two stone grains.
Grandpa and Uncle really calculated accurately, and directly bought fifteen acres of land, and used the two stones for exemption, no more, no less. By the way, the second uncle has also made a lot of efforts, and it seems that his exemption quota is not in vain. Otherwise, the terra nullius reclaimed in this village will not be easy to use.
